Today was Shahira's last day working with us this summer. She's leaving tomorrow to return to England and get organized. Then she's back into Ontario, and proceeding to take Queen's University by storm.
She's been a wonderful worker, and great fun to have around. She's provided a marvellous counterpoint to the Mike and Dave Show, and done much to help us retain our sanity.
Over the years, we've had summer students here from Switzerland, Germany, France, England -- they've all left with some great and varied work experience, lots of practice speaking English (except Shahira, who was pretty darn competent in that department to begin with!) and a host of Canadian experiences, from paintball, to kayaks to white water rafting and more.
Shahira, swimming to the Island and Back on a regular basis faster than most of us can make it to the Point, cheerfully turning her hand to any task we've asked of her, and leading Napster seriously astray... well, "Shak" has been very special.
We're going to miss having her here.
Oh I don't know about that. I suspected that cat might have been into the sauce a few times. :-)
